Rolling Stones list of top 100 music artist , I ?Question its logic

Worthless garbage. Who knew anyone still read Rolling Stone? 

Who knew Rolling Stone still existed?

Rolling Stone is the 8-track tape of media. The Beatles? The Beatles? Please.

Apparently they did learn their lesson about being a bunch of out-of-touch racist senile pricks, so they made sure to stir in a generous helping of Black artists.

Muddy Waters in the top 20? Great, but in the past the only Blues this POS rag could be bothered with was the stolen kind played by British white trash kids with bad teeth.

And ONE lone single woman in the top 20? And it ain’t Patti Smith, no, it’s Aretha Franklin, because Rolling Stone knows how to stack minorities to leave maximum room for more worthless forgotten white schmucks. Nauseating

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

My point was to show the non credibility  of ROLLING STONE  MAGAZINE OF TODAY ,THEN EVEN 25 years ago , their logic is total nonsense 

ERIC CLAPTON IN THE 50+ down the list ,  their list = toilet paper !!

While I’m no fan of Rolling Stone and believe any “top” list is purely subjective, I did enjoy reading the individual narratives written by various artists. 

Rolling Stone stopped being a music magazine many decades ago; it's become a cultural, political, and news publication since then. Music is in there as part of the culture, but it's not their primary focus. Still very popular, still well-read, just not among older people who used to regard it as some kind of music bible. 

@larsman et al,
Rolling Stone has been a cultural, political, and news publication since its beginnings in the late 1960s. Their published motto: "All the news that fits" reflected the inclusion of cultural journalism as reflected in the music scene and beyond, and featured many political and social oriented journalists of each decade since.

That said, I never put any stock in their (or anyone else's) Top 100 lists. I'd have preferred a list of suggestions to check out sort of thing. I'm sure any number of people here could recommend music to expand our horizons just. as well.
